1) Am I right that a person can apply for green card one year after he was approved of REFUGEE ASYLEE RELATIVE PETITION?
2) How long will it take to get a green card for such a person?
3) What kind of visa does this person have after he came to U.S. before he can get approved of his green card?

1. It is one year from the date of approval if the person is already in the United States. If he is not in the United States, then it is one year from the date he enters the United States.
2. About one year to 18 months.
3. The person will be a refugee or an asylee.
 
Additional Questions:
1) If the applicant of I730 got his green card after he applied refugee/asylee relative petition for his relative, can the beneficiary get his green card earlier?
2) Can a person holding refugee or asylee visa go to university and work in U.S?

1. NO
2. YES absolutely. He or she can get government grants and loans for school on the same basis as green card holders.
 
Thankful: Thank you very much!! The second question is very important for me, because he is going to study in law school and my family cannot afford the entire tuition fee for a JD program.

Where is he now? and he already has an undergrad degree?
 
Feel free to ask me anything relating to law school and law school admissions. I am a recent graduate of a U.S. law school and I was also a student member of the admission committee.

I always thought you were a 50 something Granpa! :D
 
Does the 1 year countdown starts from the Date the Asylum was approved or from the date on the card (which was received only few months later after the approval). Please advise. Thanks
